Description Skin is fascinating, this is not a skin tones tutorial but more of a skin optics kinda thing. Btw I never went to art school or whatever, so erm, this is not the absolute word on the topic, just a collection of thoughts.

For info about what brushes I use check out the Blending Tutorial:[link]

I'm using Photoshop CS2 and Wacom Intuos 2 for this.


Edit: apologies to those of you who are freaked out by the little skin balls, hahahahaha, sorry really

it took me a while to realise that lightening a colour means you have to saturate it, since white is the absence of colour. thanks for uploading

I noticed SSS so many times but had no idea how to call it or how it worked in detail. Thanks for sharing!
One thing baffles me, though. I'm color picking photos and illustrations and your skin balls too, but shadow areas still have higher saturation than light.Β 
I'm confused. Can you explain this to me? Thank you so much, again!
